The device necessarily requires a SIM for its operation.
If you wish to use the packet data functions (communicate with the device
through TCP/IP, use of “
Si.Mo.Ne
” system etc.) a SIM with an internet
connection active plan is required. The SIM card in the device determines
whether the device supports
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
,
LTE Cat M1
and
NB-IoT
or
all these connections.
Make sure that your SIM supports the packet data network type you want to
use. - i.e. if you want to use the module in
LTE Cat M1
network you have to confirm with the operator that the
particular SIM card supports
LTE Cat M1
network.
SIM Type: standard SIM Card type
Mini-SIM
(or
PLUG-IN
).

code. If it does, it is possible to disable it in any common
network unlocked mobile telephone.
